Forward pegs for shorter legs?

Postby next_horizon » Sun Jan 29, 2012 12:46 pm

Hi,
I'm trying to find a solution to get more feet on the floor on my 09 Stelvio.
Seat is in lowest position, foam had been removed.
The problem is that the pegs are in exactly the place my feet want to be so although I'm lower in the saddle my legs have to stretch wider to touch the ground.
I went to see a bike engineer/fabricator. We worked out a way to move the pegs about 3inches forward but it means removing all the existing frame section and fabricating a new part. The existing section is bolted on so there no cutting and welding.
The shaky (nerves?) red section is the piece to be be replaced>

Are there any forward sets in the market already? Has anyone done this kind of change.
I'm ready to do it but I would value some group input first.
